Now that it seems Win10Mobile is no more and no word of Microsoft giving another mobile platform a try, I can't help but think that Cortana is going to have far less potential in the future.
If I look on Cortana's Notebook on PC, I see things like One The Go and Reservations to name but two very mobile specific things. I reluctantly gave up on Windows Mobile last year and switched iOS - its a dreary and old OS, with a poor user experience - and downloaded the Cortana app.
The iOS app does not contain the same attributes as the PC version. So to get the best out of Cortana currently, never go out and always have a PC switched on.
For any virtual assistant to work, and be useful, surely they should be on a portable device, like a smartphone?
So why have Microsoft seemed to have given up on a mobile platform? I can't see Cortana being relevant unless she is baked into one. Surely she is weakened now?
What do you think?
Have a read of the article below and tell me how you see things heading for Cortana now:
